“Job burnout is a prolonged response to chronic emotional and interpersonal stressors on the job and is defined here by the three dimensions of exhaustion, cynicism, and sense of inefficacy …

“The Dental Distress Syndrome” is part of this
Recognising Head, Neck and Back pain of dental origin
Most of us know how hard it is to work with a headache, an aching back or sore neck
Get rid of the pain and life becomes much happier
The source of the stressors can be from birth trauma to a poorly developed bite
An imbalance in the relationship between the jaw joints and the neck
That’s just for starters — The point is that there are structural stressors
People in the workplace also have these structural stressors and so they need to be addressed
Often by relieving what we can relieve — We reduce the load on the system
AND
Stress is reduced.
The patient now out of pain copes better or even feels good about life and work
